Abstract

Systems and methods for providing a payment application personalized for a merchant physical location include receiving a first customer location from a first customer device that is running a payment application. A first merchant physical location is then determined to be associated with the first customer location and, in response, first merchant physical location personalization information is retrieved. The first merchant physical location personalization information is then provided for display as a user interface on at least one personalized merchant physical location screen that is provided on the first customer device using the payment application. The at least one personalized merchant physical location screen is configured to send an instruction to the payment application provider device to make a payment from a first customer account associated with the first customer to a first merchant account associated with the first merchant physical location.

Claims

1. A merchant personalized application system, comprising:

a non-transitory memory to store a plurality of merchant physical locations and associated merchant physical location personalization information;

one or more hardware processors coupled to the memory and configured to read instructions from the memory to perform the steps of;

receiving a first user location associated with a user device;

determining a first merchant physical location proximate the first user location and, in response, retrieving first merchant physical location personalization information associated with the first merchant physical location;

providing the first merchant physical location personalization information for display as a first user interface in an application on the user device;

receiving a second user location associated with the user device that is different than the first user location and that is received subsequent to receiving the first user location;

determining a second merchant physical location proximate the second user location and, in response, retrieving second merchant physical location personalization information that is different than the first merchant physical location information and that is associated with the second merchant physical location; and

providing the second merchant physical location personalization information for display as a second user interface in the application on the user device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the first merchant physical location and the second merchant physical location are each associated with the same merchant in the non-transitory memory.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the first user location is received through at least one beacon system that is located at the first merchant location, and wherein the second user location is received through at least one beacon system that is located at the second merchant location.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are operable to read instructions from the memory to perform the steps of:

determining a current date, wherein at least one of the first merchant physical location personalization information and the second merchant physical location personalization information is retrieved using the current date.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are operable to read instructions from the memory to perform the steps of:

receiving, from the user device, a rejection of the first user interface and, in response;

retrieving third merchant physical location personalization information that is different than the first merchant physical location information and that is associated with the first merchant physical location in the non-transitory memory; and

providing the third merchant physical location personalization information for display as a third user interface in the application on the user device.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the first merchant physical location personalization information includes a video that is configured to be displayed on the first user interface.

7. A method for providing a merchant personalized application, comprising:

receiving, by a system provider device, a first user location associated with a user device;

determining, by the system provider device, a first merchant physical location proximate the first user and, in response, retrieving first merchant physical location personalization information associated with the first merchant physical location in a database;

providing, by the system provider device, the first merchant physical location personalization information for display as a first user interface in an application on the user device;

receiving, by the system provider device, a second user location associated with the user device that is different than the first user location and that is received subsequent to receiving the first user location;

determining, by the system provider device, a second merchant physical location proximate the second user location and, in response, retrieving second merchant physical location personalization information that is different than the first merchant physical location information and that is associated with the second merchant physical location in the database;

providing, by the system provider device, the second merchant physical location personalization information for display as a second user interface in the application on the user device.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the first merchant physical location and the second merchant physical location are each associated with the same merchant in the database.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the first user location and the second user location are received through a beacon system that is associated with the same merchant.

10. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

determining, by the system provider device, a current time, wherein at least one of the first merchant physical location personalization information and the second merchant physical location personalization information is retrieved using the current time.

11. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

receiving, by the system provider device from the user device, a rejection of the first user interface and, in response;

retrieving third merchant physical location personalization information that is different than the first merchant physical location information and that is associated with the first merchant physical location in the non-transitory memory;

providing the third merchant physical location personalization information for display as a third user interface in the application on the user device; and

receiving, by the system provider device from the user device, an approval of the third user interface.

12. The method of claim 7, wherein the first merchant physical location personalization information includes an animation that is configured to be displayed on the first user interface.

13. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

receiving, by the system provider device from the user device, a modification to the first user interface to provide a modified first user interface; and

storing the modified first user interface in the database in association with a user that is associated with the user device.

14. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a plurality of machine-readable instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, are adapted to cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

receiving a first user location associated with a user device;

determining a first merchant physical location proximate the first user location and, in response, retrieving first merchant physical location personalization information associated with the first merchant physical location in a database;

providing the first merchant physical location personalization information for display as a first user interface in an application on the user device;

receiving a second user location associated with the user device that is different than the first user location and that is received subsequent to receiving the first user location;

determining a second merchant physical location proximate the second user location and, in response, retrieving second merchant physical location personalization information that is different than the first merchant physical location information and that is associated with the second merchant physical location in the database; and

providing the second merchant physical location personalization information for display as a second user interface in the application on the user device.

15. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the first merchant physical location and the second merchant physical location are both associated with a single merchant in the database.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the first user location is received through at least one beacon system that is located at the first merchant location, and wherein the second user location is received through at least one beacon system that is located at the second merchant location.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 14, wherein at least one of the first merchant physical location personalization information and the second merchant physical location personalization information is retrieved based on at least one of a current date and a current time.
